A/N I just want to let you know that this story is not Jalex, and it's never going to turn into Jalex. It will have some cute Justin/Alex brothersister moment though. This takes place when Alex is like 26 or so.
Disclaimer: Anybody who believes I own this show should probably be checked into a mental hosptital.

Alex Russo pulled up in front of a big two story house at the end of a road called Ellis Drive. The house was painted a plain tan with brown shutters on the windows. She couldn't believe she was here. She couldn't believe she was admitting she was wrong. She couldn't believe she was randomly showing up at her brother's house after not speaking to him for four years.
Alex hadn't spoken to her brother Justin since her wedding day four years ago. They had gotten into this huge fight. Justin was trying to warn Alex about her fiancé Brian. He told her he was just using her, and he sees him out all the time with other girls. But of course Alex didn't believe him, she was in love with this guy, and she truly believed he was in love with her. So Alex called Justin a liar and told him to stay out of her life, and Justin did.
Alex parked the car and pulled the key out of the ignition. She turned around and looked at the three kids in the backseat. The oldest Mackenzie was coloring in her favorite princess coloring book. Mackenzie was six and wasn't Alex's real daughter. Alex had been a friend of Mackenzie's parents and when they died in a car accident Alex and Brian decided they'd take Mackenzie in. Sitting on either side of Mackenzie were Alex's twins, Cayden and Callie. The two four year old were sound asleep in their car seats. "Hey 'Kenze, can you go ahead and start unbuckling Callie for me," Alex asked the six year old as she got out of the car and walked around to unbuckle Cayden. She carefully picked the little boy up of his car seat, making sure not to wake him, and then walked around to the other side and did the same to the sleeping little girl. She waited for Mackenzie to get out of the car before shutting the door and walking up to the front steps of the house. Alex stopped when she got to the front door and took a deep breath before gently knocking on the door three times. Not even a minute later Justin was standing in the doorway with a confused look on his face.
"Alex?" Justin asked in disbelief.
"Hey Justin, can we talk?" Alex asked in a barely audible voice.
"Sure," Justin said, moving out of the doorway, letting Alex walk in followed Mackenzie. "Here let me help," Justin said when he noticed Alex struggling with a now awake and very restless Callie. Justin took the little girl off her hands as Alex sighed a sigh of relief.
"Thanks," Alex said, now smiling, "That's Callie, by the way."
"Well hi there, Callie," Justin said making the little girl smile. "And who's that?" he said gesturing toward the little boy.
"Oh," Alex said as if just remembering he was there, "This is Cayden, but we call him Cade. And that," she said motioning toward Mackenzie who was now wondering around the room looking at stuff, "is Mackenzie," then laughing she added, "Don't worry she won't break anything."
"It wouldn't really matter if she did," Justin said, watching the six year old inspect a lamp sitting by the couch. It grew really quiet for a minute as Alex and Justin watched Mackenzie.
"Listen Justin," Alex said, breaking the silence, "I'm really sorry, for not listening to you, for saying what I said to you, for refusing to talk to you, and just for everything that I've ever done to you," Alex finished, then thinking about for a second she added, "Which now that I think about it is a lot of things."
"Yeah, it is," Justin said with a half smile, remembering all the mean things Alex use to do to him.
"So do you forgive me?" Alex asked hopefully.
"Of course," Justin said.
"Hey, I thought I heard voices," a voice said from the back of the room. Alex turned to see a woman with blonde hair walking toward them.
"Alex, this is Jade, my fiancé." Justin said gesturing toward the women. "And Jade, this is my little sister Alex."
"It's to nice meet you," Alex said shaking Jade's hand.
"You too," Jade said. "And who are these cuties?" she asked, meaning the twins that both Alex and Justin were holding.
"Well, this is Cayden," Alex said pointing to the slowly waking boy in her arms, "And that is Callie," she pointed to the girl Justin was holding, and then she turned to Mackenzie, who was standing by her again, and said, "And this is Mackenzie"
"I'm hungry," Mackenzie said when she noticed everybody was looking at her.
"Well," Jade said, squatting down to Mackenzie's height, "How would you like to go in the kitchen and find a snack."
"Can I?" Mackenzie asked Alex, with a pleading look.
"Of course you can," Alex told her daughter.
"Let me take the twins too, that way you and Justin can sit down and catch up on things," Jade said taking Cayden out of Alex's arms, and Callie's out of Justin's. "Do they eat peanut butter and jelly?" Jade asked Alex.
"Mackenzie and Cade do, but Callie's allergic to peanuts." Jade said okay and went off to the kitchen with the three hungry little kids.
